Just in time for the weekend, I've got the Warboss Taetorial on how you can turn your ghouls from boring, pale green to gory and feral creatures of pure eeevil!
Stay tuned for more Spookytoberfest goodness! Don't forget to Like or Favorite (Woohoo!) this video! And please Subscribe if you haven't yet! Also, let me know what you think about the tutorial! Leave some Comments before you go!

Thanks for watching! Glad I was able to give you a little inspiration for your Mantic stuff! Best of luck with them!
Thank you for writing with your feedback! I'm glad the video was of use to you!
Hi! Thanks very much for the kind compliment! For a green base, I would do Rakarth Flesh and then shade with Biel-Tan green or Coelia Greenshade. Each gives you a different hued green, depending on if you want to go lighter or darker. Try checking out my Nurgle Plague Zombie cultist for an example! Thanks again for watching!
@TheMadwizz thank you! I don't know when it happened, but at some point over the last year, I set myself the goal of every so often, taking models I hated and painting them as best I could, maybe in an alternate color scheme, so that I wouldn't hate them so much. These guys were pretty much at the top of the list haha. Thanks again for the compliment!
Cool! Best of luck painting your ghouls up! Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Glad I was able to help =D For the ghoul eyes, I believe I used a Citadel Miniatures Fine Detail Brush, if your store does not have that, just look for the smallest tipped brush you can fine. They all work great if you have patience and keep your hands steady!
Thanks very much! Glad you like my work =D
fantastic! I'm glad you were able to convert the old colors into the new ones and use this video for inspiration! Vampire Counts and Chaos are terrific armies, and I commend you for getting the paints you need to do the models justice! When I got back into the hobby, I thought "Well, one green is just about the same as another, right? Plus, shading and highlighting just sounds like so much extra work, I think I'll just skip it".
Result: RADIOACTIVE NIGHT GOBLINS!!!
Very good scheme for the ghouls Tae. I am DYING to see your take on the zombie dragon/terrorgheist.
Nice! Thanks for transcribing all the paints!
I agree! This was back before I had a tripod to keep my hands free for painting =D
Im convinced that you'r some kind of painting machine from the future. The amount of painting vids you produce is amazing!
Plaguebearers, I hear they might get new plastic sculpts later this year. But people have been saying that for a while now haha, so you never know.
Excellent! I'll check it out when I get home tonight!
Hi! I used Dheneb Stone, Ogryn Flesh, Khemri Brown, Chaos Black, Calthan Brown, Boltgun Metal, Codex Grey, Red Gore, Rotting Flesh, Baal Red, Leviathan Purple, Badab Black, Tallarn Flesh.
If you don't have any of these old paints, you could just use a paint color converter (like the one on GW's webpage) to learn what the current colors are!
Great stuff as always Tae my friend. Now get to painting that Nurgle Lord already!!!!
I'm dying to see how you do him.
WOW those ghouls are awesome and pretty scary I would be terrified if I saw them running across the battlefield great work mate!
+James White Thank you for the compliment! I wanted to do something different with the ghouls, as I thought that GW really made them look a little too bright and colorful for my taste. Painting them in this darker and more "human" skin tone with grit and gore really appealed to me.
my mantic kings of war ghouls might kook cool painted up like this. thanks for the tutorial Tae!
Thanks very much! Really appreciate the compliment!
hahaha! Its the immortal question, balancing the hobby and work! There just aren't enough hours in the day haha!
These ghouls look awsome FLESHY!!! They look great :)
@KainTLA Thank you! My to-do list is so packed, I just gave up adding to it and randomly pick up and paint whatever I see on my desk that catches my eye lol
Thanks hahaha, oooooo yeah, Plaguebearers would look pretty neat-o with this color scheme good thinking!!
Thanks very much! Glad you like them =D
Awesome vids man!
@DevilsPr0d1gy Excellent! I'm glad the tutorial could be of help! I really really like this bloody gory style, the pale green ghouls never really did it for me, and I remember seeing one of the example eavy metal pictures showing something like this and thinking of movies like The Descent where the creatures are naturally really pale but just covered in gore and bruised and bloody. I hope your ghouls make a big splash at their unveiling! Let me know what everyone else thinks!
@MossmanStudios lol I made this video for a contest she was doing! It was an homage =D
Yes haha, I googled the tf2 spy and think that's hilariously accurate! I would suggest skeletons to start, then ghouls. Skeletons make great anvil units and ghouls make great attacking units.
@Zargarox thanks! I have some machine Mercenaries (love those pirates) and would love to continue painting those up. Cygnar stuff looks interesting, too!
Thanks! I actually have a very old snow basing video from last year, but my methods have changed somewhat. I'll see if I can do an updated video on snow effects. Personally I like the 'slushy' snow effect rather than the powdery fresh snow that I see on so many bases. All you really need is some water effects, pva glue, and snow effects, mix the three together, and voila! =D
Favorite youtuber right here :D
Awesome!
Awesome taes bro! Been following this one to the letter using the new citadel colors.. love it!! I just started modeling with GW miniatures and I'm hooked!! I've been modeling WW2 planes and such for years but these GW things are off the hook!! I've been buying all the VC and Chaos models and all the new paints..(small fortune!!).. can anyone say addicted? Anyway thanks again for the videos. I hope to finish the ghouls in a couple days and I'll post the pics on my FB if you'd like to see 'em.
@DeathlyTharcandus Thank you! I was going for a different look than the GW pale green and I'm very happy with the results!
@bazZy33K Thank you! Glad you like them!
Wow! Thy look awesome. For a long time now I have been thinking that the GW Ghouls are just ugly looking (not in a good way). But your color scheme really brings new life (unlife) in to the models and I will not look at the models the same way anymore. Thank you!
@Cabilis66 Thank you! As soon as I get my grubby mitts on a model, I'd love to do one. Oooo, maybe as a Spookytoberfest Grand Finale...
WOOHOO!!! Thanks! =D
I might have to buy some ghouls and try this scheme out...

@BluePit864 Thank you! My mission is to show people what I (as a regular Joe Shmoe) can do and to inspire others who might be thinking of collecting or painting similar models. Your compliment means a lot to me!
WarbossTae s
@1madhammer Haha, it's a fun one, and really easy to pull off!
nice i love ghouls (i finely got my ghouls) very well painted ps
@NurglesNastiest I'm going I'm going lol! Should be done by the end of the weekend =D
@saggyrectum Thanks! I've had some free time here and there to finish these guys up. Took a little longer than I planned. Hopefully I can finish everything else I have planned before Spookytoberfest is over!
thank you for mking this video it realy helps my to paint my models :)
@jake42901 AWESOME! Glad I could be of help! =D
YOU....SAID....TUBIES?!!! WHAT BLASPHEMY IS THIS?!
:: Great tutorial btw! :DD
@1madhammer with the intro, the videos take so long to render, I'm seeing if I can make a shorter intro in lower quality. Im not really familiar with the LoTR stuff, what would be a good model to pick up and paint?
@osoidian Ha! Thanks for the compliment! It made my day!
@WarGamingFantasy GW says "Yes! Also, the new Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon and Banshee models, please!" =P
@WarbossTae Loved the tutorial and it almost made me want to paint a unit of ghoulish creatures or at least something where I could use the color scheme, but got enough to paint with my Cygnar. Do you paint any Warmachine? Nice tutorial on getting a lot out of washes. Would love to see it applied on other units for inspiration.
Thanks very much! I know what you mean, this is a very different color from the GW color scheme, and most people probably don't like it. But I'm hoping that people will look at this video and realize you can do something different from the 'eavy metal standard.
Looking good , will give this how to paint a try next weekend =) , was wondering what wash is a bit better for humm darkgrey / green like then baal red? (dont wanne have my 2x 40 ghouls all the same look :P )
I hear that they're going to be re-released soon (something like within the year or so, hopefully), so I will probably wait for the new ones, since the current range is so old and I don't have a demons army to go along with them =D
hello warboss, could you please mention the colors in a list of your awesome well painted ghouls? ty!
First off, great tutorials you've put up!
Secondly, a question, does it really matter if I base coat with white spray, or does it work pretty much equally well if I just base with deneb stone from scratch?
I've just picked up warhammer again, after finding my old models at my family house, and as a student I would love to cut on the spendings..
Hi warboss, very good job!!!if i can i have a question for you.....if i want to paint this gnoul with a green base , what colors do you suggest???thanks a lot
really nice tutorials, but i wonder is there anyway you could do a tutorial on Dire wolves taht would be lovely, cant really figure out how to paint them and cant seem to find any good tutorial for it either.
@warbosstae you should do a corpse cart guide
OMG new necron pictures have been leaked
I'm digging the red, but I don't know if this color is for me. I've been looking for inspiration and this is great, but I just can't decide on my army scheme yet. It's so hard to decide, since I'm gonna try to tie my army at least partly all together (which you did very well).
What colour/colours would I use to highlight the actual skin? As mine has gone quite dark and i'd like to bring it back a bit and neaten things up too.
Thanks.
+Shaun :Hi! Because this is such an old video, for the newer range, I would actually use Cadian Fleshtone as a highlight, but then re-glaze it so that looks darker and more red/purple than a nicely highlighted pale skinned model. So after painting your highlights, don't apply the shade directly, but thin down the wash with water, about 2:1 shade to water, and paint it on.
Hopefully, that will tie your highlights to the darker shaded areas and give you a very nice effect!
@Handegekke I would say, for dark grey, do a Thraka Green, and while that's still wet, Baal Red? Try it out, and let me know how it goes. I did the same for some zombies a while back and they came out Dark Grey =D
I was thinking maybe a yellow moon, or spider theme. Spiders make for a bland paint scheme though (since they are all black basically...) But I'm gonna go with Mantic minis for my core units (shhh don't tell GW) and the skeletons come with blank shields, so I was thinking spider web designs. And then maybe tie in a faint yellow light from a certain vantage point to hold them together with the bad moon theme.
Great job Tae, though I hate you a little bit now as it makes me want to paint my VC...Which is in a long line of stuff to do!
Looks miles better then the GW pale grey scheme
Ghoulish awesomeness! I like your paint scheme much better than that of GW. Your scheme sets of more of the detail and gruesomeness of the models! =)
@WarbossTae Try something simple, like a box set of Warriors of Minas Tirith or Uruk-hai - those models are fairly easy to paint
I forgot Reikland Fleshshade (Ogryn Flesh)!
I love those! I'm about to start painting my ghouls, would you use the same paint colors? I mean are there like 'modern names' of the paints you used? Also do you water down the paints prior to applying like the flesh coat or just use it out of the bottle? If so whats the process of watering it down?
+Amy Maru Hi! The new equivalents of the paint range will give you a similar look, but it might turn out a little differently to what I've done, as they are not exactly the same, color-wise. As for the watering down, I always paint with a wet palette. It's very simple to make and will allow you to thin your paints down to be manageable without clumping up. Here's how I make mine the cheap and easy way: czcams.com/video/kmuhC1hAySo/video.html
It's better, though, if you have parchment paper, to use that instead of a paper towel, because the paint won't seep through.
Once you start using a wet palette, you'll never go back to painting straight out of the pot. To thin down paint, you can also use an acrylic thinner, but I find it simple enough to just add about half as much water to the amount of paint I'm using, so a drop of water for every two drops of paint. Basically, with GW paints, though, I just eyeball it. First, I put about a brush's worth of paint onto my wet palette, then I quickly dip my brush into my water cup, and bring it back to mix onto my wet palette.
A wet palette will also make it easy to mix paints, as well, when you want to highlight your models, but want to make the highlights subtle and not pop too much.
About to start painting for the first time and I like your paint scheme the most, however with the newer colours, is there any that you would switch out?
Definitely! Many of the new colors aren't very close to the older colors, and you'll really find what works for you with a little experimentation. But overall, I would suggest doing the following:
Rakarth Flesh instead of Dheneb Stone
Bugman's Glow instead of Tallarn Flesh
Reikland Fleshshade instead of Ogryn Flesh
Carrouberg Crimson instead of Baal Red
I hope those work for you, buddy! Let me know if they turn out drastically different, and I'll help you tweak some colors, but I haven't gone back and re-done this color scheme with the new colors, so I'm just taking guesses here hahaha!
waddup tubies EPIC lol
Love this vid, but cant help wondering something, with the tallern flesh and rotting flesh highlights to the boils/pustules and scars, which colour is intended to go below the other? My assumption was green under the pink, but the pink is foundation. As it is, i've done pink on the scars and green on the pustules, but your dialog in the vid is not really clear on this. Thanks for this way to paint them, its not as simple as just black, thraka green, but will give my army some much needed variety.
Hi Andrew! Sorry for not being clear in the video, I use the pink Tallarn Flesh as the foundation and add in the Rotting Flesh to highlight. I never did like the GW light green ghouls and thought this was a different and just as awesome way to finish them off =D
WarbossTae Thanks, for the reply, that is very helpful. I already had the model with a black undercoat, going to do the next set in white, but that will be in a few months.
I used your zombie guide and looks good n I tried to use this one but it stuffed up it was to light so I highlighted the limbs n face with rotting flesh GW
Hello, new to painting minatures. just wondering about how you paint the bases once you have finished the coats and washes on the minature.
Hello Brian! Thanks for writing! Usually, I start by first gluing the rocks to the base (or the gravel, or whatever). This will help them stick better when you prime your miniatures and paint them. When you're ready to paint the actual bases, I normally start with a thinned (watered down) coat of Abaddon Black, again to fill the cracks and adhere all the gravel together. Then I drybrush with either Dryad Bark or Mournfang Brown (both will give you different finishes, so you just choose the one you like best), then do a drybrush of Steel Legion Drab, then Rakarth Flesh. Drybrush all of these layers so that the layer beneath can still be seen and you get a natural looking blend of browns and beige colors.
Since you're commenting my Ghoul video, I think you might be wondering about these colors, which are slightly different. For the new range, I would go Abaddon Black - Stormvermin Fur - Eshin Grey, to get a gradual color change from black to brown/grey. Put in a little green flock or dead grass flock for a pop of color (use white glue, not super glue), and you're good to go!
Thanks! Do you paint the model itself while its on the base and then paint the base after?
Exactly glue the model together first, then glue it to the base, then glue the gravel to the base, prime the whole thing, paint just the miniature, then finish by painting the base. That's my process!
Dat dog tho
+lightkinable Woof Woof! =D
I sent you a message with my FB address to view the images of my progress so far. I just got the crypt Horrors and plan to paint them in the same style....sick!!
thanks very much! tf2? Transformers 2?
@mafiamaster100 I know! They look inSAAANE!
Are these paints still in the Citadel range?
Unfortunately, they've all been replaced when GW moved to using a different paint distributor. Their newer range has a lot more paint colors, but they are not always equivalent to the older colors, which were, in my opinion, a little better overall.
Darn your videos! Once I start watching I can't look away! And then I have the unsettling urge to paint!!! BUT I HAVE WORK! !@#)(*)!@(#*!!*@#*!!!
@Cabilis66 =D
Definitely! Post the pics and forward me your fb address!
What's happened to your intros? And could you do some Lord of the Rings models?
You have used here is a pink color? I can not get a pink, fleshy color. May be Emperors Children? Dont understand... After Carroburg Crimson my model brown!
Yes, the Carrouberg Crimson is darker than the old Baal Red...maybe try using Bugman's Glow, followed by Reikland Fleshshade and then Bloodletter to give it a red glaze. I'll try to do another video with the newer colors when I can get the time!
They look exactly how a ghouls hould look. Filthy. You are a painting machine dude.
